M2 Parcours chemical and microbiological characterization for environmental issues (CMCEI)
Présentation
Objectifs
Strongly increasing societal demand in the fields of Environment, Sustainable Development and Health, implies a synergy of advanced skills in Chemistry and Biology Sciences. In order to be able to effectively respond to this demand and to implement innovative solutions providing efficient answers to these requests, it is essential to perfectly understand the interaction of contaminants with living organisms and particularly their structures, properties, reactivities/activities in natural ecosystems. The “Chemical and Microbiological Characterization for Environmental Issues” (CMCEI) second year course of the Master in Chemistry and Life Sciences aims to train specialists with knowledge of the most recent advances in analytical chemistry, physico-chemistry, molecular biology and environmental microbiology.
Program objectives
Entirely taught in English, the first semester is devoted to the knowledge of contaminants cycles and to the application of different techniques for the analysis of chemical elements and species of interest in various compartments of environment, the identification of microorganisms presenting a risk for environment or public health, but also quality assurance, critical evaluation of scientific publications and /or technical documentation.
The second semester consists of a 6 months research internship in the field of chemical and/or biological analysis applied to the environment in IPREM teams.
The course gives a large place to learning by scenario projects, which enable the student to understand scientific approach of research as well as to put into practice various techniques and to deepen the reflection on his/her professional project.
Student Learning Outcomes
At the end of this program, the students in the «Chemical and Microbiological Characterization for Environmental Issues”
- Have an expertise in modern techniques in chemistry, molecular biology and microbiology
- Synthesize technical and research documentations to produce a technical study
- Plan and define a research or R&D project in analytical chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology or environmental survey
- Manage and carry out a project
- Manage field experiments to estimate the efficiency of chemical or biological methods for the protection of the ecosystems
- Interpret and validate results of chemical and biological analysis
- Produce summary report describing the experiments done, the applied methods used and the results obtained
